摘要:An increasingly important topic in the field of information technology is accessibility, which means that information systems can be effectively used by people with disabilities. U.S. Federal regulations require accessibility for certain types of informational systems and web sites. Accessibility is not a topic that has been addressed in the information systems curriculum in the past. This paper presents information on accessibility, and the related technological and legal issues. Advice on how best to incorporate the topic into an undergraduate information systems curriculum is presented, along with specific courses in which accessibility would be a good fit.
